My phone is stuck at the boot screen. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone. It was working fine until I noticed that I couldn't use any modules or kernel due to the S-ON problem. So I thought flashing the phone to a new custom ROM would do the trick. What i didnt know was that the device name in the upadte script had to changed from a5dug to htc_a5dug but it was too late.
I started to mess around with mounts and storage. I think I played around with mount/system (which is now unmounted) I dont know what state it should be in, mounted or unmounted and Im sure I clicked format system, dont know why but thought it would erase the whole phone and make it possible to root the phone, after a reboot the issue started.
Im using HTC Desire 816 dual sim
model name htc_a5dug.
CWM v6.0.4.7
HBOOT- 3.19.0.0000
S-ON

Hi guys,
After flashing the miui rom I took out my sim card en sd-card to put in my other phone. When I wanted to boot my desire it just stuck on the splash screen. I booted into the bootloader wich just works. But when I get in to the bootloader I can't use the vollume bottons anymore to boot into recovery. So i put a pb99.img to my sdcard. And booted again into the bootloader, after it checked my pb99.img file it gives an error: main version is older. So now I don't know what to do I can't get into my recovery and I ran a Ruu with my phone in the bootloader and than i got an error : 170.
So can anybody help me out beceause it's stressing me out.
Thanks.
PS sorry for my bad language.
Oh I forgot to say my phone is rooted with unrevoked still s-on my hboot version is 0.93.0001
My radio is 5.14.05.17
Dear Experts,
Yesterday while updating my friends HTC desire, the phone got bricked.. here is the chronology of events that went thru.. the phone was updated to 2.3.3 using official ROM exe.
* I successfully S-off the phone using revolutionary but could not push superuser, I tried using unrevoked but could not.
* I unfortunately, thinking that the phone was already on s-off gave it a hboot data++ to install cooked ROM, the phone stopped update giving error E:signature verification failed and since then it hasn't went beyond HTC logo and later booting itself to recovery automatically..
* I tried hboot from alpharev 1.8 stock and downgrade but the phone does not respond.
* tried to use the exe to run on pc but phone isn't detected, tried even after extracting the ROM to update official ROM via sdcard but same signature verification failed error. Gold card hasn't been made for the phone, I have tried to push amonra but doesn't work either..
Plz help...
Thanks..

if your signature verification failed,toggle the sig verification and try again ..
Yes s-off is displayed in fastboot.
And I ain't getting toggle signature option, I am just getting install zip from sdcard..

Hello,
I havo no experience with bricked phones, but I've seen a thread for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408936
Its the recovery: 4EXT Recovery.
I have installed this one, i hope this works for you.
I used unrevoked as well as reflash package..
But none are responding now.. the phone just boots into recovery. Plz help..

And which recovery do you use?
Unrevoked did s-off but returned with error could not send root cause firmware too new.. s-off already achieved, but could not push recovery, is there a way out..

You are fully aware that this forum section is for HTC Desire aka Bravo and not HTC DesireS aka Saga right?

Sorry my mistake...
@ibraahim: it's very important for us to know which recovery you are using. Due to your description I'm sure the zip you wanted to install wasn't signed so you have to disable the signature verification in your recovery.
I guess you are using the clockworkmod (cwm) recovery or the AmonRA recovery because they are very popular. If you have the cwm recovery (the name and version are displayed on the top of the recovery, like ClockworkMod 5.x.x.x....) choose install zip form sd card and afterwards toggle signature verification.
If you have the AmonRA recovery (name and version are displayed on the bottom of your recovery, like Build: RA-desire-v.2.x.x) choose other and afterwards toggle signature verify.

please help me,my phone is dead for like 2weeks and no answer i have got from anywhere,(
Ok, i wil help you as much as i can and to be honest if you follow the instructions you will most likely get over the problem because your phone is like any other Desire HD in the world.
Follow the steps in the thread here to get S-OFF, then flash clockworkmod from here. You're pretty much done....then you can flash a radio according to the rom you select and enjoy !

Do you know what software version you were on or have your phones ruu version. Branded/unbranded?
Did you try flashing the ruu from hboot?

Wait, can you access Clockworkmod? or is it stock recovery?
i can access the clockworkmod recovery v4.0.1.4 (ACE HACK KIT)
i even flashed another rom but they dont boot up!they stuck at the HTC.
i already did factory reset and wipe cache everytime before installation...
That version of recovery is old. The kit flashes 5.0.2.7 I believe. So you must have used an old version and that where the problem came from. Ok so your branded. Do you know to what carrier? What country?

i bought the phone from india and and bout the carrier i realli dont knw what do u mean...my phone just shows htc and there is no extra app in it, i mean from any provider. what should i do now?
this is the one indian RUU i found. I know there is a fastboot command to get phone information an that will tell us exactly what version you have. (makes it easier to search) but in the mean time try this one.

boot your phone into hboot and mast sure fastboot is selected. plug in your phone to pc and run the RUU
Hi there! I've done quite some ROM flashing on my HTC Sensation. Now my girlfriend has an old Desire HD which has been running ARHD 6.3.3 ever since she bought it of a friend of ours. It's running really poorly and has quite some issues.
I want to flash the newest ViperDHD on her device. But after reading some of the DHD forums I really still have no clue on where to start
It seems I'm S-off (see attached screenshot of haboot) but do I have the right hboot, RIL, radio, kernel or whatever? What are the latest versions of those?
Should I downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE as I read here?
I have no idea if the device came shipped with GB.. How can I figure that out?
I would really appreciate it if someone could offer me a little guidance here. I have attached screenshots of the current state of the device. Where should I go from here to get everything to the latest versions and give this DHD a second life. (I might even replace the cracked screen if get it right)
EDIT: ARHD 6.3.3 has Android version 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0
I see there are 2 different kinds of S-OFF on DHD (Eng and Radio). What is the difference and how can I tell which one I'm at now?
Couldn't wait so went ahead and just flashed the ROM as I normally would. All seems ok. Apparently no special firmwares/RIL/hboot's are needed?

Most of the rom is already included all the libs needed to supprt the hrdware.. If you have no problem in coverage etc, there is no need to flash ril/radio.. Besides, ril is only for sense based rom..

As with every other "im stuck at the htc logo" (doesn't any one read any other threads any more) you need to flash the boot.img manually in fastboot.

Hi ,
I unlocked many new devices and now i get an M8 device with HTC dev unlock.
My last HTC was a desire s, so iam not up to date with HTC at the moment.
If i know a way to flash an unlocked hboot.img to mmcblk0p11 can i get troubles with THW phone?
HTC sells soff full unlocked devices, if i flash this partition to my device and Boot to bootloader and change then my cid must the m8 work normaly,right?
I want flash it not with the board HTC methode, but direct partition to partition.
If someone tried this vor can give me infos that wäre nice.
THX for help
Can't be done. Only way to get S-OFF is to use Sunshine
i dont think so.
Tried it with my desire x. Rootet and s-on. but for this device i had an hboot image from the same cid model.
What do you mean with that cant be done?
That its not possible because HTC security mechanism give me info like "is not possible because of..." or you mean the flash goes well but after that flash the device make trouble?
THX for help
Without S-OFF you have no access to any other partitions other than those required to flash a new ROM
Backup

Thats not right in all. Some ways are always there. I have made a backup of every partition from the M8 now.
I could flash it with a little trick, get no error message but i try it first with my old Sensation XE. Iam loooking for a Hboot right now for the XE and then i trust me to give the M8 a shot.
I will post what is happening
But you can't write the data back onto the phone without S-OFF
